Because it got destroyed in a tornado?

If your talking about for EDM, I am pretty sure that throwing an event in the tabby requires an event thats gonna sell 2600 tickets otherwise your talking about a loss. The venue is expensive to the promoter, everyone complains about ticketmaster fees, and the talent you book upcharges you for a higher capacity venue. All of those things make it where you want to know your going to sell out the place before you book it.

I hate that place. The floor is slanted and it's a 5 mile hike to each bathroom.

Not a fan of the tabernacle either. The staff there is comprised of complete assholes too

I've never been to the tabernacle for an edm show, but I love that place. The sound system is amazing, and every show i've seen there has been excellent.

Exact same here, only the guys who run the boards don't make up for people who have not received damaged higher frequencies due to loud guitars. I never forget my plugs.

Yeah, I forgot my plugs here one time and I thought my hearing was never going to be the same. Funny enough I've only been there like four times though. I haven't had a problem with it though. I usually check out the smaller bands at the Masquerade. I guess there are very few djs who could really fill that place. PVD was excellent there last year though. I know Tiesto sold out there in 2006, or I would have been there.
